Bio:

Once an Olympic hopeful who was slated to represent his native France in the forthcoming Summer Olympics, Michel was dismissed under dubious circumstances. With nothing else to do, he opted to try his hand at professional wrestling. A cocky, arrogant, and slightly delusional individual, he is nonetheless a top performer noted for his mastery on the mat, but just don't mention his past scandal or else he will immediately fly into an uncontrollable rage like a switch.

Special Attacks:

Directional Change – Michel uses his mat wrestling expertise to grab his opponent's legs and forcefully spin them around so their back is to him, leaving them vulnerable to attacks.

Loire Crossing – Michel voluntarily lowers his guard and allows his opponent to strike him, yet as he takes damage he suddenly rears back and delivers a burning right cross to his opponent with twice the damage.

Moonsault Knee – Michel back flips into the air for a graceful moonsault that ends with him coming down with both knees extended towards his opponent.

Air France – Michel slingshots off of the nearest ropes with an elbow strike to his opponent's face.

Loire Valley Leg Throw – Michel launches himself into the air and wraps his legs around his opponent's neck and then brings both himself and his opponent spinning to the ground.

Ultra Slam:

Parisian Plunge – Michel lifts his opponent onto his shoulders and performs a rolling fireman's carry slam.

Final Boss:

(Michel stands tall in the ring after defeating Azzam the Grinder when the SlammerTron's screen suddenly begins flashing and Hannibal's image appears, clad in full armor.)

Hannibal: You truly believe you are powerful enough to challenge me, weakling? Don't make me laugh! You are no match for me. If you truly value your life, you will turn and walk away.

Michel: You dare to challenge me? A world class athlete! Why don't you come down here and I'll show you how a true master executes his craft!

Hannibal: You wish to fall before the might of Hannibal? Then so be it. I have broken countless bodies to become champion and you are nothing but fresh meat to me.

Ending:

(Michel stands in the ring with his hands held out at his sides, the SWS World Heavyweight Championship wrapped around his waist.)

Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, presenting to you your new SWS World Heavyweight Champion, “The Technical Emperor” Michel Pierre!!!

Michel: Merci beaucoup! With my endless amounts of talent it was only natural I would become your new champion. Hannibal was nothing more than a placeholder and now that he's gone, I shall reign supreme!

(The screen fades to black and the image takes us to the Paris arena, where Michel stands in the ring wearing his ring jacket with a microphone in hand. A dark-haired woman in a stereotypical skimpy French maid outfit stands behind him while a nameless opponent who resembles Glass Joe from Nintendo's “Punch Out!” series stands across from him.)

Michel: Bonjour, ladies and gentlemen! It gives me great honor and even greater pride to return to you as your new world champion. At last I have shown the world why I should have represented all of you at the Olympics...

(Michel is suddenly cut off as he narrowly dodges a beer bottle thrown into the ring.)

Fan #1: We don't want some doper representing us!

Fan #2: Get out of our country you fraud!

Audience: CHEATER!!! CHEATER!!! CHEATER!!!

(More garbage is thrown into the ring and both the made and Glass Joe look-alike flee as Michel's skin turns red and he seethes in anger.)

Michel: You should not have mentioned that! Now you are all getting me very angry!!!

(Michel leaps out of the ring and angrily throws a table into the crowd before leaping the guard railing just as security guards rush to stop him before the screen fades to black.)

Narrator: On this day a new champion is born and it's Michel Pierre, the technical master from historic Paris, France!

(Michel is shown performing his second victory pose.

Michel: My wrestling is poetry in motion. Anybody want to say otherwise? Well they can just take a Parisian Plunge for their troubles!

(Credits roll. The end.)

Random Notes:

-- The official story behind Michel's removal from the French Olympic wrestling team states that he was dismissed under allegations of doping, which has seen him barred for life from Olympic competitions. Naturally, Michel outright denies these allegations, but nobody dares to inquire further given his infamous explosive temper.

-- Aside from amateur wrestling, Michel is also a trained judoka, having trained in the French Judo Society under former open-weight gold medallist Jacques Douillet.

-- He was also a top water polo and lacrosse player back in high school, but ultimately devoted all of his attention to wrestling later on and throughout his university days.

-- He has a brother who ran for a seat in the National Assembly of France, but was defeated. It is believed that Michel's doping scandal was a contributing factor in his loss and the two brothers have been estranged ever since.

-- He is a known coffee aficionado and also enjoys cooking, hoping to possibly open a bistro after he retires from wrestling.
